Digital Booklet

|||||
Mari Kodama presents New Paths, exploring the young Johannes Brahms and his fascinating friendship with Clara and Robert Schumann.
The album derives its title from Robert Schumann’s famous essay “Neue Bahnen”, in which he heralded the young Brahms as the most eminent musical voice of the future. The programme brings together Brahms’s first piano sonata, his Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, Op. 9, as well as his Theme And Variations, Op. 18B, made at Clara Schumann’s request.
"In this recording, I am interested in the young Brahms. When I play his early works, the three piano sonatas for example, I see him in front of me, at home with the Schumanns, sitting at Clara’s piano in his early twenties, full of energetic self-confidence. Hopeful, resilient and yet so sensitive and dreamy, in deep affection for an extraordinary pair of artists, without whose friendship his musical career would certainly have been different."
